Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the patriarch of the first family of Democratic politics, died late Tuesday at his home in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was 77. "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," a family statement said.

I think his heart was in the right place, even though I think alot of his ideas were misguided.

RIP Senator. :'(
He was a great American who devoted his life to the service of his fellow human being.
Poor Maria, ...first her mother, ...now her uncle... all in the same month. How much is she expected to take?
That family has given so much, and has also suffered so much as well.

RIP.

The car plunged into tide-swept Poucha Pond (at that location a channel) and came to rest upside down underwater. Kennedy was able to swim free of the vehicle, but Kopechne was not.
Kennedy claims he tried to swim down to reach her several times, then rested on the bank for several minutes before returning on foot to the Lawrence Cottage, where the party attended by Kopechne and other "Boiler Room Girls" had occurred. One of the "Boiler Room Girls" is now big-time New York literary agent Esther Newberg, who was Mary Jo's roommate for the weekend.
Like everyone involved in the incident, Esther remains close-mouthed about what occurred. Joseph Gargan (Kennedy's cousin) and party co-host Paul Markham then returned to the pond with Kennedy to try to rescue Kopechne. Although there was a telephone at the Lawrence Cottage, nobody called for help.
When their efforts to rescue Kopechne failed, Kennedy decided to return to his hotel. However, the Edgartown-Chappaquiddick ferry (which connects Chappaquiddick to the rest of the island) had shut down for the night. Kennedy swam across the 500-foot channel, back to Edgartown. The next morning, the police recovered Kennedy's car and the body of Mary Jo Kopechne.

And Laura Bush killed her ex-boyfriend after he dumped her. She T-boned him at an intersection and he died.
Tell me that wasn't the act of a woman out to get revenge on her ex for dumping her.

Was she drinking? Ted left a party, think he wasn't? If she was wasted then fuck her too.
At least one of them didn't take a 9 hour nap before calling the cops. Not excusing anyone but Laura= 17, Ted = 37. Nice you think he's about as bright as a 17 year old dummy, especially Laura.

retarded much? try reading the thread.

I'm sick of all these privileged dirtbags that get away with shit like this because they have money or because of who they are in name or both. They should have been made to pay the price like the rest of us shmoes. Then he has the nerve to say this about Richard Nixon's pardon regarding Watergate.
“Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?”
Put a sock in it.
I would have had a lot more respect for the guy even though I disagree with him on some issues if he just had the balls to be say he fucked up, but he tried to make it sound like he was some hero. "I tried to save her, even though I almost died doing it." But what, he forgot how to use a phone?
Anyway, that's enough spewing venom from me in one day. :P

Laura bush is not a politician. even if she was, this thread was about sen Kennedy.
or are you so 'retarded' that you think screw ups by 'the other team' somehow makes up for Kennedy's claimed mistakes?

Are you saying his accident was political? Are you saying his critics are against his politics because of the accident?

and ive seen you bag on her for that multiple times
how many times you bagged on kennedy? ::) biased much?
-

I think some of Kennedy's critics are buffons. otherwise can you explain their inability to keep his personal life apart from his politics? like when they counter any of his politics with: ' I don't care what Kennedy says. he's wrong because he was gn a car accident.'
with that being stated... laura bush has even less to do with kennedy's politics.

So you are able to notice the difference between personal and poltical in this case in the way he handled the situation but are critical of a polticians capabilty to lead based on their personal beliefs on evolution or creationism?

The good news in all of this is that Ted Kennedy has been sober for 36hrs and counting.

well with the accident having nothing to do with his politics I do see a point in bringing up the hypocrisy of giving Laura a pass while condemning Ted. Not the case with everyone, but still so often the case it's worth mentioning. Ted has been under scrutiny for the accident since it happened. The press has no problem talking about it even now. Laura as first lady never had to deal with media attention for her accident. She got a pass for the most part. Ted, not so much.
